BLT — Bible * Literature * Translation

Fine tuning Google translate

So today, we’re launching a new experimental feature (in beta) that lets you customize and improve the way the Website Translator translates your site. Once you add the customization meta tag to a webpage, visitors will see your customized translations whenever they translate the page, even when they use the translation feature in Chrome and Google Toolbar. They’ll also now be able to ‘suggest a better translation‘ when they notice a translation that’s not quite right, and later you can accept and use that suggestion on your site.

Oh, lots of opportunity for pranking here! I wish we could try it here on BLT, but we are restricted by WordPress.com’s restriction on using Javascript. Perhaps the next time we have a BLT bloggers summit, we’ll need to consider hosting the blog ourselves.
